DEATH IN THE WATER,
Is the Element VIC Drink DscImaling
the PeOplel

now A UNIVERSAL MENACE TC
HEALTH MAY BE DIsARMED.
a few years ago the people in
certain section in one of the leadinI
cities OF the state were Frustrated
With a malignant disease, and upo
investigation IL was found that onl,
those who used water from q famou.
Old well were the Victims.
Professor S. A. baltimore. analys,
Of the New York state Board OF
Health, upon analyzing water from
this well, found it more deadly thar
the city sewagel
The filling up of the old well stopped
tAe ravages OF this disease.
Not long since the writer noticed
while some men were making an ex.
~cayation for q large building, a
stratum Of dark colored earth rum ing
from near the surface TO hard pan.
There 1t took another course toward
q well near at hand. The water
from this well had for years been
tainted with the DRAWINGS rom a re-
ceiving vault, the percolations of
which had d%iscolored the earthi
Terrlblel
a similar condition Of things exists
IN every village and city where well
water is used. and though the filter
ing which the fluids receive IN passing
through the earth may give them a
clear appearance, yet the poison aud
disease remains, though the water
may look never so clear.
1t Is still worse with the farmer, fol-
the drainage from the barn yard and
the Stops from the kitchen eventually
find their way into the family WE'LL
The same condition OF things exists
IN our large cities, whose water sup.
plies are rivers fed by little streams
that carry OF the filth and drainage
from houses. This water" is event
ually drunk by rich and poor alike
with great evil.
Some cautious people resort to the
llter for purifying this water, but even
the filter does not remove this poison,
for water Of the most deadly character
may pass through this filter and become
clear, yet the poison disguised Is there.
They who use filters know that they
must lie renewed at regular periods,
for Y though they do not take out
all the impurity, they soon become
foul.
Now in like manner the human kid
neys act as a filter for the blood, and if
they are filed up with impurities and
become foul, like the filter, all the blood
in the system coursing through them BE-
comes bad, for it is now a conceded
fact that the kidneys are the chief
means whereby the blood is purified.
+ These organs are filed with thousands
Of hdir-like tubes, which drain the i'm
purities FROM the blood, as the sewer
pes drain impurities from our houses.
If a sewer pipe breaks under the
house, the sewage escapes into the
earth and fills the house with poisonous
gas; so if any of the thousand and one
little halr-llke sewer tubes of the KID
neys break down, the entire body is
affected by this awful poison.
1t Is a scientific fact that the kidneys
have few nerves Of sensation; and, con-
Sequently, disease may exist in these
organs for a long time and not be sus-
pected by the individual. 1t is impos-
slble to filter or take the death out of
the blood when the least arrangement
exists in these organs, and if the blood
is not filtered then the uric acid, or
kidney poison, removable only by
Warner's safe cure, accumulates in the
system and attacks any organ, produc.
ing nine out of ten ailments, just as
sewer gas and bad drainage produce so
many fatal disorders.
Kidney disease may be known to x
lSt if there is any marked departure
from ordinary health without apparent
known cause, and 1t should be under
stood by all that the greatest peril
exists, and is intensified, if there is the
least neglect to treat 1t promptly with
that great specific, Warmers safe cure,
a remedy that has received the highest
recognition by scientific men who have
thoroughly investigated the character
Of kidney arrangements.
They may not tell US that the cause
Of so many diseases in this organ is the
impure water or any other one thing,
but this poisonous water with its i'm
purities coursing constantly through
these delicate organs undoubtedly does
produce much of the decay and disease
which eventually terminate in the fatal
Bright's disease, for this disease, alike
among the drinking men, prohibition
lists. the tobacco slave, the laboreT, the
merchant aud the tramp, works terrible
devastation every year.
1t is well known that the LIVER which
IS so easily thrown tout Of gear'' as
they say, very readily disturbs the &C.
ton of the kidneys. That organ when
~deranged, immediately the
fact by sallow skin, constipated bowels,
coated tongue. and headaches, but the
kidney when diseased, struggles on for
a long time, and the fact of its disease
can only be discovered by the aid of
the microscope or by the physician who
IS skilful enough to trace the most in
direct effects IN the system to the de-
rangement Of these organs, as the prime
cause.
The public is learning much OF this
subject and when it comes to under
stand that the kidneys are the real
health regulators. as they are the real
blood purifiers of the system. they will
escape an infinite amount of unneces.
sary suffering, and add length of days
and happiness to their lot.
